The Riders have protected their house this season, with just one loss at Mosaic Stadium. Can they shake off their most recent loss and get back to their dominance? Winnipeg hopes the answer to that question is an emphatic, no. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/brady-oliveira\/164872\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Brady Oliveira\">Brady Oliveira<\/a> went for over 200-yards all-purpose in his team\u2019s win over Montreal last week, their second straight victory. Will it be three in a row on Sunday in this rivalry game? The writers don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>WRITERS\u2019 PICK: 100% Saskatchewan<\/p>\n<p>TORONTO AT HAMILTON<\/p>\n<p>Monday, September 1<br \/>2:30 p.m. ET<br \/>TSN\/CBSSN\/CFL+<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s doubleheader starts in Hamilton with the East-leading Tiger-Cats hosting the Toronto Argonauts. The Argos will be heading down the QEW feeling great after a big win against the BC Lions last week where they put up 52 points. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfl.ca\/players\/nick-arbuckle\/162088\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ga-category=\"Clicks - Article\" data-ga-action=\"article-player-link\" data-ga-opt-label=\"Nick Arbuckle\">Nick Arbuckle<\/a> has been playing some of the best football of his career and will be hoping that continues against Hamilton. The Tabbies, on the other hand, return from their Week 12 looking to avenge their loss in Week 11 where they scored just three field goals. Who wins this heated afternoon affair? All of the writers think the home team will get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>WRITERS\u2019 PICK:\u00a0100% Hamilton<\/p>\n<p>EDMONTON AT CALGARY<\/p>\n<p>Monday, September 1<br \/>6:00 p.m. ET<br \/>TSN\/CBSSN\/CFL+<\/p>\n<p>The final game of OK Tire Labour Day Weekend should be nothing short of fantastic. The Stampeders beat the top dogs in the CFL, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, last week, remaining the only team so far this season to beat the Green and White. Edmonton has been on fire as of late, winning their third straight contest. The Elks are now just two points behind BC and can make up ground with a win this week. The Stamps are two points behind the Riders and if they win this week and Saskatchewan loses, they\u2019ll move into first in the division. Who wins this Battle of Alberta? The pick makers are all siding with the Stampeders.<\/p>\n<p>WRITERS\u2019 PICK:\u00a0100% Calgary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO \u2014 OK Tire Labour Day Weekend is officially here.
